1. A day has come when Fate reveals its tidings,
A feast day that feasts and times celebrate.

2. Your station in the heights is not made proud -
Nay, but by you the prides and heights are graced.

3. Ignorance bared its leg in perturbation crying,
"What's up? What news? How go events and ways?"

4. They said: "The chief of learning dawns." Said he:
"Then it is time to travel and go my way."

5. So dawned a day safe from mischances' spite,
And bounty flowed till rocks grew verdure dressed.

6. Religion - Hashim's creed - was firmly based
Through one the Lord and men see most esteemed,

7. No day or night but sun and moon invoke
Blessings and peace upon him without cease.

8. From the world of particles his nature was
Bounty, whose vestiges remain in Hatim's hand.

9. O One alone, all praise ascription foils,
And every fulsome ode falls short condensed.

10. On us before, you conferred gifts in Syria
Shared through east and west - as the moon shares light.

11. Apart from you, no door has meaning for us,
If we hope there, only false hopes can be hoped.
